what's the difference between a satsuma and a clementine?

Answer 1

Satsuma Mandarin, also known as Mikan or Clementine, a citrus species
clementine or Satsuma, or Mandarin, is the fruit of Citrus reticulata, and may be a cross between a mandarin orange and an orange created by the Algerian priest Pierre Clément in 1902. The Online Etymology Dictionary proposes that it was "originally an accidental hybrid said to have been discovered by Father Clément Rodier in the garden of his orphanage in Misserghin, near Oran, Algeria." In Arabic, it is called "Kalamintina", while in German it is generally referred to as "Mandarine", that is, as a member of that broader supergroup. However, there are claims it originated in China much earlier.

Clementines are sometimes mistaken for tangerines, but the clementine has a thinner and more easily removed skin, a sweeter fruit, and very few seeds. It is an oblate, medium-sized fruit. The exterior is a deep orange color with a smooth glossy look. Clementines separate easily into eight to twelve juicy segments filled with a taste of apricot nectar.

Clementines have been available in Europe for many years, but the market for them in the United States was made only a few years ago, when the harsh 1997 winter in Florida devastated domestic oranges production pushing up price and lowering availability. This variety was introduced into California commercial agriculture in 1914, though it was grown at the Citrus Research Center at the University of California, Riverside as early as 1909. California clementines are available from mid-November through January; this availability has them referred to in some areas as "Christmas Oranges".

These little mandarins have also caused large headaches for some beekeepers. Big companies like Paramount Citrus in California have threatened to sue local beekeepers for their bees trespassing on the land that the Clementines are grown on. When bees cross pollinate the Clementines with another fruit they end up losing their seedlessness.

SORRY THE ONLY THING I KNOW ABOUT IS THE SATSUMA

Satsuma


Nothing is ever easy when it comes to Japanese pottery or porcelain. Everything is named and identified down to the local shed where the potters had their ofternoon tea. If they ever got the idea to make one pot there too, this pot will also have a name and a unique mark. Probably the potter would come up with a new names to himself too, to celebrate the occation. And mark the pot with it. So, to get an understanding of this, I suggest you first of all hit the map icon to the right here, and locate the "Satsuma" area on the southern "Kyushu" island. Next, go find "Kyoto" too on the mid "Honshu" island.
Kilns - as such - were established in the Satsuma area in southern Kyushu by Korean potters in the late 16th century. These first wares are so rare that you don't even need to bother with them, but they were stonewares, covered with a thick dark glaze.
Then, during the mid 19th century the well-known pottery that is world recognized as "Satsuma" ware was created. This is an slightly yellowish earthenware. It's glaze has a fine crackle and it does not have a "ring" when tapped. This Satsuma ware was however first developed in the Satsuma Han, got produced mostly for export to the West, in several cities such as Kyoto, Tokyo, Nagoya, Yokohama and elsewhere throughout Japan, from the Meiji period (1868-1912) up until today.
The success of the Satsuma style has inspired many followers why any Satsuma looking WARES with any marks, as well as any MARKS on Satsuma looking wares, have been all collected here. Also those on obvious porcelain wares that specifically can not be "Satsuma" because it is not earthenware, have all been collected here too until further.. I think it will turn out that those to a very large extent actually are Kutani porcelain, but this will remain to be seen.
The circle with a cross that often makes up a part of the marks, are the Shimazu family crest, who ruled Satsuma Han. As far as I know this have no relation to these later earthenware Satsumas and I doubt that any of the Shimazus ever owned a "Satsuma" ware piece, since these were specifically designed to cater to the western export market. If that were to be the case, the crest would in that case need to be blue, since that was also the Shimazy clan colors.
Satsuma pieces, whether produced in Kagoshima, in Kyushu, or in Awata, near Kyoto, are all referred to as "Earthenware". Therefore, In Japan to differentiate the Satsuma pieces, pieces produced in Kagoshima in the 17th to mid-18th century are the ones only called "Satsuma" (or "Satsuma Edo period").
Kindly also notice that the authenticity of many of the important marks below are uncertain.

Satsuma Gosu Blue" was produced in very limited quantity in Kyoto in the mid-19th century, and is now the most sought after of the Satsuma wares.
The Kinkozan factory (1645-1927) had is main production period approximately between 1875-1927 when the factory closed.
Kinkozan IV's real name was Kobayashi Sobei (1824-84).
Kinkozan V (1868-1927)
Little is known about the artist Shoko Takebe besides that he is known to have decorated a number of pieces for the English merchant Thomas Blow. It is possible that an entire dinner service was completed, as a number of various sized plates have been noted.
Pieces from the company Yasuda Kyoto Tokiji Goshigaisha usually have the full name of the company plus the trademark, (ref. No 472 Jap marks list). The best known & most regarded of the artists working for this company was Ryozan.
Pieces manufactured in Awata near Kyoto, after the Edo period, are called "Kyoto Satsuma".
Later on, the Satsuma Style was also produced in Yokohama and Tokyo.
From around the 1890's to the early 1920's at least twenty and possibly more studios or factorys were producing "Satsuma" wares of which much were of low quality and destined for the European and American export markets. At the same time, artists studio's were producing wares of the finest quality.
